The Time Traveller’s odyssey is filled with action and drama, while also exploring the complexities and dualities of human nature.

Philandering man + insecure woman  = tragic romance . Neither Tomas nor Teresa are likeable characters but the author sure does make you fall in love with Karenin.

Thank you very much but I like to acquire my Templar historical facts from Assassin’s creed games . Storyline is too convoluted and can get pedantic at times.

Starts off quite grim and then progressively gets darker . The similarities between current global political scenario and Orwell’s authoritarian state is scary
